- H.C. Casey, Jr. and M.B. Panish,HeterostructureLasers, Part A, “Fundamental Princi-
ples;” Part B, “Materials and Operating Characteristics,” Academic Press, N.Y. (1978). - Landolt-Bornstein,NumericalDataandFunctionalRelationshipinScienceandTechnology,
Vol. 22, Eds. O. Madelung, M. Schulz, and H. Weiss, Springer-Verlog, N.Y. (1987). Other
volumes in this series are also very useful. - S.M. Sze,PhysicsofSemiconductorDevices, Wiley, N.Y. (1981). This is an excellent
source of a variety of useful information on semiconductors. - “World Wide Web;” A huge collection of data can be found on the Web. Several professors
and industrial scientists have placed very useful information on their websites.
